About Lymington Auctions

Established in 2019, Lymington Auctions is an independent auction house based in the historic sailing town of Lymington, on the edge of the New Forest. Operating from premises that have served as an auction house for over 50 years, we combine traditional auctioneering values with modern technology to connect sellers with buyers across the UK and around the world.

Our specialist auctions feature an extensive range of jewellery, gold, silver, watches, Asian Works of Art, including Chinese, Japanese and Tibetan pieces, as well as antiques, paintings, furniture, coins, medals, classic and modern vehicles, trading cards, collectables and much more. Whether you are selling a single treasured item, an inherited collection or the contents of an entire estate, every consignment is handled with the same care, expertise and professionalism.

Lymington Auctions has built a strong international online presence, attracting bidders from across the globe through live online auctions and targeted marketing. This worldwide reach enables us to achieve competitive prices while providing a transparent, straightforward and personal service to every client.

Our dedication to achieving exceptional results has earned national recognition. We were featured on the front page of the Antiques Trade Gazette following the remarkable sale of a Chinese export mirror, which realised £45,880. We have also featured on national television as the auction house for a celebrity antiques programme, where we conducted the live auction for the celebrity contestants. Auctioneer James Powner also appeared on camera throughout the programme, showcasing the excitement of the auction room to a nationwide audience.

Led by auctioneer and jewellery specialist James Powner, alongside Hannah Powner, Nick Powner and Steve Ozier, our experienced team offers friendly, knowledgeable advice and a comprehensive range of services, including free auction valuations, probate valuations, insurance valuations and house clearances.

Whether you are buying, selling or simply seeking trusted advice, our aim is to make the auction process straightforward, enjoyable and rewarding. We take pride in offering an honest, professional service while helping every client achieve the very best results.

We look forward to welcoming you to Lymington Auctions.
